Saints and Nomads
win Deakin web- prize
I have enjoyed my journey around the websites of
the 12 Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League clubs
and as promised I got together with Andrew Howard
and my very able successor Gwyn Derfel to decide
which are in our opinion the best sites.
It was indeed a very difficult decision and the fact
that my reviews resulted in four awards of nine out
of ten, those four clubs formed our short list.
Those concerned were Airbus UJK Broughton, Bala
Town, gap Connah’s Quay and The New Saints and
it was the latter two that got our nod.
We were particularly impressed with the Nomads
coverage of their Academy teams, which was not the
case on some sites that I looked at.
While the Saints site is indeed worthy of the leader
of the League and enables the visitor to download
every Match day Programme. I wish that was the
case on the West Bromwich Albion site as it would
have saved me £3.00 on all of my regular visits to
The Hawthorns since my retirement. It’s a painful
experience being a “Baggies” supporter.
So to sum it up, I will contact both of the winners
and arrange to sponsor a Match ball to the value of
£75.00 at each for a home game of their choice prior
to the end of the season.
May I take this opportunity to wish all 12 clubs all
the best for the remainder of the season and most of
all no more postponements which causes great
difficulty for Gwyn having to re-arrange so many
fixtures.
I am a great admirer of his work, but I have to say
that the weather was never this bad when I was
Secretary.

CLUB NEWS
ABERYSTWYTH TOWN www.atfc.org.uk
Club Chairman Tony Bates announced last Wednesday
proposals for major new developments at Park Avenue
during an Extraordinary General Meeting of the club.
The proposals concern a potential £13M development
in collaboration with Tai Ceredigion, which would see
80 new flats being built down the River side of the
Stadium. The project would also bring a substantial
investment in club facilities, in the form of a brand
new 500-seater stand, a clubhouse and restaurant
facility, ancillary rooms, community facilities and a
dedicated youth centre.
Central to the business plan would also be the
instillation of a 3G pitch to ensure Park Avenue
becomes a hub of community activity throughout the week.
The finance for the flats, stand and other facilities will be provided by Tai Ceredigion with the FAW
funding 90% of the 3g pitch costs of £400,000
The EGM unanimously welcomed the proposals for this iconic development, and if all goes to plan work
should begin in September 2014.
Club Chairman Tony Bates told atfc.org.uk this morning: "Although there are a number of hurdles yet to
be overcome, both Tai Ceredigion and Aberystwyth
Town Football Club are committed to making this
exciting scheme work."
At the EGM it was also agreed that Only those persons
who are either a Life Vice President or an Honorary
Life Vice President or who have paid the annual Vice
President’s subscription of Aberystwyth Town Football
Club (“The Club”) shall be eligible for membership of
the Company.
The Club AGM announced an 5% annual loss of
£12,104 on a turnover of £215,905, and the Board of
Directors were re-appointed en bloc.

THEY have gone a month without a game but manager Chris Hughes believes the break has caused
his side to become even more focused. Hughes takes his Robins to Holywell Town on Saturday for a
last 16 tie in the Welsh Cup.
In an interview with Robins’ Pressman Jonny Drury on Friday he said: “The lads haven’t had a
competitive game for four or five weeks now and that has really sharpened their focus.
“They just want to get out there and play now. We have been preparing in training and the lads have
trained really well. It’s been frustrating for them and for the staff but there isn’t a great deal you can
do about the weather.”
Saturday will be the fourth time the tie has been arranged, with two postponements at Latham Park,
and one at Halkyn Road which fell foul to the weather last week.
Despite the Wellmen sitting three leagues below the Robins in the Welsh Alliance Division one
Hughes knows his side can’t let complacency creep in on Saturday.
He said: “We are confident in our own ability and we are a good side.
“But that confidence can turn to complacency sometimes. That won’t be the case with our players
on Saturday. They’re flying high in the Welsh Alliance at the moment but we are the Welsh Premier
League side and we want to go there and put in a good performance and win the game.”
The winner of Saturday’s rearranged clash will go on to face Porthmadog at home in the last 16.
And Hughes has said that he isn’t looking to that game and wants to take every game as it comes.
He said: “I think to look to the quarter final would be disrespectful to Holywell.
“You have to respect them and the competition. It’s the old adage of taking every game as it comes,
and that is important to do in the cup.
“You can’t take your eye off the ball and look ahead. That’s when shocks can’t happen and we will
make sure that isn’t the case.”
Hughes will be without his trio of new signings on Saturday with James Bloom, Neil Mitchell and
Lance Jones all cup tied.
Shane Sutton is also serving a one match ban and Chris Mullock is ineligible.
DEFENDER Max Penk has said he is delighted with the run he has had in the side so far this season.
Despite stiff competition from Iain Edmunds and James O’Neill Penk has been the Robins regular left
back this term and has been pleased to help in their impressive run.
He said: “It’s been very pleasing to have great run in the side at left back this season, especially with the
run that the side has been on.
“Myself, Shane and Kieran have been playing alongside each other for three years now and I think we
have grown stronger as a unit, and the addition of Craig has only added to that.”
Penk was brought in by Bernie McNally in his first season in charge after being on the books as a
scholar at Wrexham. And he believes that over his time at the club, the side has shown signs of
progressing as a team and making the top six.
Penk said: “I think over the past three seasons we have always shown signs of what we can do, and that
we can progress into a top six side. And we have proved that this season.
“And it’s nice to have the chance to play against the better sides in the league, and hopefully we can
achieve some good results and not take our foot off the gas.”
Penk will be in the squad as the Robins face Holywell this weekend in the last 16 of the Welsh Cup.
And the defender believes a good cup run would be an added bonus to an already successful season.
He said: “A good cup run would be great and definatly be a bonus to us.
“But firstly as long as we are in good form when the play-offs arrive we will be happy. And that will
then give us the chance of Europe.”
FOLLOWING Saturday’s Welsh Cup defeat manager Chris Hughes has called for a quick response from his team
ahead of the start of the second phase.
Hughes saw his Robins side go into the break at Halkyn Road 3-0 down. Goals from Matt Hearsey and Tom
Goodwin in the second half pulled it back for Newtown, but they couldn't force extra time.
And speaking after the game Hughes has said his side need to respond quickly.
He said: "The players need to pick themselves up now and pick themselves up quickly.
"We have 10 days now until we face Bangor and we need to respond because if we don't, it is going to be a long
season."
Hughes also highlighted that his side need to stop conceding silly goals, which ultimately cost them a place in the
quarter-finals.
He said: "It's never nice to lose and it is a massive disappointment. And to lose in the manner that we did,
conceding sloppy goals is an unhealthy trait we have at the moment.
"Looking at the game overall I think we dominated but we weren't good enough in both boxes but we couldn't get
over the line. And it is always going to be difficult when you go three goals down from giving them cheap goals."
Overall Hughes dubbed his side’s performance 'careless' and stated you can't make mistakes like they did and
expect to get away with it. We had a reaction in the second half and had a couple of shouts for a penalty and
created chances. But we were careless, it was a careless performance.
"We were 2-0 down early on but got gold of the game and thought if we scored it would make them nervy, which
it did in the second half but the third goal right on half time was a massive blow. We can't make errors like that at
this level and expect to get away with it."!

THE LAST WORD from Gwyn Derfel
At last! I finally managed to experience some football once again last week. I had intended to watch
Aberystwyth twice and following their impressive victory at Afan Lido on Tuesday – I was really
looking forward to their important clash against Bala on Friday night.
I was in the area by mid-afternoon and the heavens just opened relentlessly for well over an hour which
left parts of Maes Tegid unplayable. I know that Kevin Parry was as disappointed as anyone that the
game couldn’t go ahead – the weather hasn’t allowed him to be the man in the middle at all yet during
2014.
As you can imagine there were a lot of frustrated people around the place but I must thank the officials
for their professional judgement. I must also express my gratitude to the vast majority of people for their
understanding and civil behaviour considering the unfortunate circumstances.
Saturday gave me the opportunity to watch Airbus against The New Saints. I have seen better first
halves but thoroughly enjoyed the second period as the Wingmakers proved once and for all that the title
race is not a foregone conclusion.
Stewart Roberts has announced that he’s leaving the Airfield for business pastures new. He must be
proud of how the club has developed during his time there as the Chief Operations Officer. It was good
to see him at the match on Saturday still supporting the club.
At the third time of asking, Port Talbot finally played Llanidloes Ladies in the semi- final of the
inaugural WPWL Cup. The visitors won 1-0 on Sunday following extra time and have now earned the
right to face Cardiff Met in the final at the end of the month.
Congratulations to both clubs and thank you for taking the time to read the article.

Y GAIR OLAF gan Gwyn Derfel
O’r diwedd fe gefais y cyfle i wylio gemau unwaith eto’r wythnos hon a braf o beth oedd hynny.
‘Roeddwn wedi bwriadu gwylio dwy o gemau Aberystwyth ac ar ôl tystio eu perfformiad clinigol yn
Lido Afan nos Fawrth ‘roeddwn yn edrych ymlaen at yr ornest ym Maes Tegid nos Wener.
‘Roeddwn yn ardal Y Bala erbyn ganol prynhawn pan benderfynodd y glaw a’r cenllysg rhyfeddaf daro
gan effeithio’n andwyol ar rannau penodol o’r maes. ‘Doedd neb ym Maes Tegid yn fwy siomedig na’r
dyfarnwr Kevin Parry na fyddai’r gêm yn cael ei chwarae – yn enwedig gan bo’r tywydd garw wedi
arwain at ohirio pob un o’i gemau hyd yma yn 2014.
‘Doedd hi’n ddim syndod bod cryn dipyn o rwystredigaeth yn amlwg gan bod carfan Aberystywth a’u
cefnogwyr wedi cyrraedd y maes ond mae’n rhaid i mi ddiolch i Kevin Parry am ei waith di-duedd dan
amodau anodd. Hoffwn hefyd ddiolch i fwyafrif llethol y bobl dderbyniodd y penderfyniad gyda
dealltwriaeth ac urddas.
Ddydd Sadwrn cefais y pleser o wylio Airbus yn herio’r Seintiau. Er nad oedd llond trol o gyffro’n yr
hanner cyntaf llwyddodd yr ail gyfnod i gynhesu’r galon ar brynhawn oedd yn gafael. Profodd Airbus
unwaith ac am byth y bydd yn rhaid i’r Seintiau fod ar eu gorau tan ddiwedd y tymor os ydyn nhw am
ddal eu gafael ar y bencampwriaeth.
Cyhoeddodd Stewart Roberts yn ystod yr wythnos ei fod am adael ei swydd gydag Airbus er mwyn
dilyn cyfleoedd busnes eraill. Dylai fod y falch o ddatblygiad y clwb yn ystod ei gyfnod gyda nhw a braf
o beth oedd ei weld yn cefnogi’r clwb ddydd Sadwrn.
Hoffwn achub ar y cyfle yma i longyfarch tîm merched Llanidloes wedi iddyn nhw guro Port Talbot ym
mhedwar olaf Cwpan y Cynghrair brynhawn Sul. Daeth y fuddugoliaeth yn amser ychwanegol a
byddant yn herio Met Caerdydd yn y ffeinal ddiwedd y mis.
Llongyfarchiadau i’r ddau glwb a diolch i chi am fynd i’r drafferth o ddarllen fy mhwt wythnosol
